Aligning printer after new ink cartridge inserted

I have aligned the printer using the page which is printed after inserting new cartridge but somehow it is not registering that i have done so. Every time I turn the printer copier on, it spits out a new page and asks me to align it using the page. i have now done the process at least four times and have given up! I don't know how to stop this happening.
Thanks

SOLUTION:
Start the cartridge alignment by performing a series of button presses from the front panel of the product.

HP PSC 1200 and 1300 series:

Turn on the HP PSC 1200 or 1300 series product.

Disconnect the USB cable from the all-in-one.

Press the sequence of front panel buttons below to start the print cartridge alignment process.
The button-press sequence must be completed within ten seconds. It might take several tries to complete the sequence within ten seconds.

Press and hold Cancel .

While holding Cancel , press On .

When the Check Paper and Check Print Cartridge lights begin to blink simultaneously, release both buttons.

Press Cancel again.

Press Copies .

Press Paper Type .

Press Color Start Copy .
The alignment page will begin printing.
If the alignment page does not print, repeat the button-press sequence in this step.

When the alignment page has printed, place the page face down on the scanner glass and press Scan .
The alignment is complete when the On light stops blinking.

Reconnect the USB cable.

CAUSE:
This can occur if the cartridge alignment is canceled or times out without a valid print cartridge alignment stored in memory.
